And I like the passion that people have when they're trying to prove they can make a movie or be a movie star.

If you make a bad movie about stand-up, then comedians will mock you for the rest of your life.

It's a fun idea, to follow a couple very slowly and show every nook and cranny of their relationship.

I hear Amy Schumer on Howard Stern, and I think, "I wish there was a movie that starred her, because she's so interesting," and then at some point I go, "I guess I have to get involved, because it's not happening right now. Maybe I should help try to make that happen."

You know, I'm a big comedy fan.

I was a guest on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld, and I interviewed him when I was 15 years old-those moments really blow your mind.

Penn [Jillette] and Teller and I get along very well. We can call each other and say, "I'm working on this classic effect. Please, I'd like to do it for a while." We'll all respect it. There are people we don't get along with, but mostly there is a respect amongst the group.
